Careful with that one! I haven't read the full thread (in fact I never
*got* the full thread - I only got about 20 mails on the list over the
past 24h...), but this command has potential for desaster.
The one thing you have to make certain is that the new version of rpm
you're trying to install is *not* using a new database format - 'cause
in that case a "rpm --rebuilddb" is needed to make things work properly,
and the command you listed might cause problems.
Such database format changes have happened a couple of times in the
past, e.g. somewhere between rpm 2.x->3.x and as well 3.x->4.x, IIRC.

Cheerio,

Thomas
